Midterm:

One hour exam, tentatively after 7 weeks of class.

Quizzes:
10
–
15 minutes quizzes at the beginni
ng of class. 4
–

5 quizzes during the session.
Quizzes
may not

be announced in advance. There is no make up quiz for the missed one.

Homework:

Generally 3
–

4 problems per class. It is due at the beginning of next class. Late
homework grades will be reduc
ed by 10% per day. No late work will be acceptable after the
assignment is already graded. Irrespective of study habit all work submitted should be done
individually. Attendance and punctuality in the class is important. This class will be conducted
on an
interactive basis, i.e., during discussion of concepts and techniques, student participation is
expected.

Computer assignment:

One assignment to be completed in a high level programming language
(C++, Visual Basic, etc.) or Excel. A written report in spec
ified format is required for this
assignment.

For the purpose of assigning the letter grade, the following scale will be used.

Academic Integrity:

You are responsible for making yourself aware of and understanding the
policies and procedures in the Undergraduate (pp. 271
-
272) [Graduate (pp. 24
-
26)] Catalog that
pertain to Academic Integr
ity. These policies include cheating, fabrication, falsification and
forgery, multiple submission, plagiarism, complicity and computer misuse. If there is reason to
believe you have been involved in academic dishonesty, you will be referred to the Office o
f
Student Conduct. You will be given the opportunity to review the charge(s). If you believe you
are not responsible, you will have the opportunity for a hearing. You should consult with me if
you are uncertain about an issue of academic honesty prior to t
he submission of an assignment or
test.
